C164 (1/2)
On this day, early in the morning, Xuanyuan Zhiling was seated on the throne of the emperor.
”This morning at the imperial court, we have a few important matters to announce to the officials.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression carried a bit of complex emotions, but the determination and certainty in his eyes made the court officials present all become nervous, as they all seemed to realize that Xuanyuan Zhiling was about to call it quits again.
The various officials did not even dare to breathe loudly.
”The Minister of Government, Li Linan, colluded with the Second Prince to usurp power and usurp power. He was dismissed as an old official of the imperial court and was exempted from the death penalty. He was ordered to return back to his homeland.”
The first thing that Xuanyuan Zhiling did was to let the ministers in the imperial court return home. It was like a bolt from the blue, and the ministers in the imperial court were even more terrified.
”Your majesty, please spare this old subject this time. This old subject only chose the wrong master. This old subject can't be blamed.”
The Public Office Minister Li Linan knelt on the ground and begged Xuanyuan Zhiling, but Xuanyuan Zhiling did not let go. In the end, the Public Office Minister could only pack up his things and return home.
This wasn't the first time this had happened. It happened almost every morning during the morning assembly.
In the imperial court, all of the ministers who had helped Second Prince Xuanyuan Mocheng before were now filled with regret. However, other than begging Qin Feng, they had no other choice, the rest could only pray for themselves.
On this day, Xuanyuan Zhiling was in the imperial study reading through memorials. Unexpectedly, his personal bodyguard told him that there were a lot of ministers gathering at the Blue Bird Hall, and it seemed that all of them were going to look for.
”What did you say?” They all went to look for Qin Feng? ”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard this, he frowned his eyebrows. He was even more certain in his heart that he had to get rid of all these old fellows, otherwise the entire imperial government would be in a mess.
”Yes, they are looking for the empress. I wonder if the empress can hold them off.”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard the guard's words, his expression turned even more solemn. He could not help but feel some heartache for Qin Feng, since she was the one who should be taking care of all of this.
”Don't worry, empress will definitely be able to deal with it. We just need to wait and see.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, his expression becoming more complicated.
”Yes.”
After the guard left, Xuanyuan Zhiling didn't have the mood to review the imperial reports anymore. The Blue Bird Hall now was definitely a mess, but due to rational considerations, Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that he couldn't go, because these things were things that Qin Feng would face sooner or later.
However, at this moment, Xuanyuan Zhiling could be considered to have underestimated the condition of his Blue Bird Hall, because Qin Feng had been surrounded by an endless stream of ministers since morning.
”This old official greets empress.”
The purpose of the visit to Qin Feng's Blue Bird Hall was to beg empress to ensure his safety and to wear the black gauze hat on her head.
In the early morning of the imperial court, Li Linan, the Minister of Government, had just been removed from office by Xuanyuan Zhiling, and now Zhang Minghan knew that it would be his turn very soon.
”Minister of the Ministry of Justice, when did you have the free time to come to my place?”
Early in the morning, Qin Feng was still a little confused by the sudden situation in front of him, but looking at the painful expression on the face of the Board of Justice's President Zhang Minghan, Qin Feng knew that it must not be a good thing.
Zhang Minghan, the President of the Board of Justice, let out a deep sigh as he looked at Qin Feng's face with a worried expression.
”empress, this subject knows that the emperor listens to your words the most, so this subject wants empress to plead for this subject in front of the emperor.”
As Zhang Ming Han said this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Feng a few times, his face was filled with regret. Qin Feng's heart softened, seeing the scene in front of him, he could not bear to refuse.
”I know you've always been loyal, but you chose the wrong master. Seeing that, I'll try to plead for you. But if I can't do it, then don't blame me.”
As Qin Feng said the unsightly words, Zhang Ming Han could only express his gratitude and nothing else.
It was unknown who leaked the news, but the news quickly spread. The Blue Luan Palace was immediately surrounded.
Under Qin Feng's command, Qin Chen was already guarding the entrance of the Blue Luan Palace.
”Milords, empress is tired, please go back.”
Qin Chen spoke bitterly to persuade them, but the ministers were indifferent, this was an important matter for the future, who would give up so easily?
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, the ministers seemed to be ready for a fight.
”Miss Qin Chen, please don't try to persuade us. Even if we have to wait here for a while, when we die, we must wait until the empress is willing to see us.”
The leader of the officials vowed, causing Qin Chen to feel extremely helpless.
”Then since the adults are willing to continue waiting, Qin Chen can only accompany everyone.”
This was the order from the empress, even if Qin Chen were to die, he had to carry it out until the end.
Who knows how long the two sides remained in a stalemate, until Qin Feng helplessly walked out of the Blue Luan Palace.
When the ministers saw that it was the empress, they all kneeled down and asked the empress to speak up for them, hoping to save the black muslin hat on their heads.
”Ladies and gentlemen, why are you looking for me? This country is under the control of the Emperor, and it is not under the control of this palace. ”
Qin Feng was helpless and could only reject.
”empress, we all know that the emperor listens to your words. Words that you speak up for us are better than nothing, so you are our last hope.”
The leader of the officials was the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Changjian. When he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears, and he was even begging Qin Feng.
Qin Feng sighed, what was Xuanyuan Zhiling doing, was he disbanding the imperial government?
”But if the emperor finds out about this, wouldn't your crime be even greater?”
Qin Feng sighed helplessly, but she did not know how to reply to Xuanyuan Zhiling. Furthermore, they had not seen each other for a long time, so Qin Feng was almost unable to remember what Xuanyuan Zhiling looked like.
”empress, even if the emperor finds out about us, he wouldn't hesitate to ask for our help.”
Zhang Changjian, the Minister of Revenue, led the other officials who were in danger of getting removed from office to kowtow one by one towards Qin Feng.
Seeing that, Qin Feng could not bear it anymore, and she lightly frowned: ”Then I can only try my best, but I will be the one speaking shamelessly, if begging is useless, then you guys just have to pray for yourself.”
As Qin Feng said this, the ministers all heaved a sigh of relief.
